Introduction
Kampoeng Batik Jetis is the name of a small batik industrial area in the village of Sidoklumpuk Jetis urban Village Head Lemah Putro, Sub District Sidoarjo District Sidoarjo this has been inaugurated by Sidoarjo Regent Win Hendrarso on May 3, 2008, which is marked with the establishment of a picture gate of Jetis batik Jetis (http://legenda-unik.blogspot.co.id/2014/08/
kampoeng, 2014). From the inauguration, has grown into a Cooperative since December 31, 2008, and still survive until now with several showrooms owned to accommodate the creation of batik craftsmen (Anshori, 2011).

From the picture above, see 3 parts of the image, that is 1). A billboard pictorial "gold canting" underneath it reads "Kampoeng Batik Jetis since 1675" located on the left of Jl.
Diponegoro, 2). A gate across the street reads Kampoeng Batik Jetis, and 3). A corridor (road to the village) with coloured batik wall instead faded, as a guide for us when visiting, because the environment is quiet and looks like an old village.
Not many people know about Kampoeng Batik Jetis this impacted batik cannot be made as the main livelihood of society. Though the rapid development of information currently allows creating a media campaign to introduce the location and products generated to the public and package the environment into an exciting village
tour to improve the economic welfare of the surrounding community (Bahrudin, 2013).
The existing craftsmen are divided into two groups, namely: (1) The group that retains the authenticity of Jetis batik and considers the batik of the ancestral heritage to be treated and preserved correctly so as not to get out of the original grip, thus less aware of the benefits of promotion and less able contributing economically, and 2). The group that maintains Jetis batik in the context of its time develops the best design, promotion and customer service, considering that Jetis is a production village of Batik Tulis (Bahruddin, 2013). The group that maintains Jetis batik in the context of its era develops the best design, promotion and customer service, considering that Jetis is a production village of Batik Tulis (Bahruddin, 2013).
Although UNESCO has recognised batik as the Heritage of No Object since October 2, 2009 (Setiadi, 2013), so it has the potential to support the people's economy. The recognition is not permanent and will end, if we as the heirs of batik artistic tradition of batik, unable to take care of its existence and preserve its sustainability (Pradito et al., 2010). Ironically, currently Indonesia as a country of origin batik even facing various serious problems (www.merdeka.com, 2012).
Partner Problem Priorities
After a survey by the author, it turns out various problems that are facing the craftsmen in Kampoeng Batik Jetis, as experienced by 2 partners of this Community Partnership Program, Mr. H.M. Zainal Arif owner of SME Batik Amri Jaya and Mrs. Ratna Tuty Mufida owner of SME Batik Namiroh divided into 2 fields, as we will explain in table 1, that is:
Table 1. Problems facing partner SMEs
No Problems encountered Impact
a. Field Production
The use of some non-ergonomic batik equipment, among others:
Less comfortable batik maker position causing fatigue, trigger work disease (MSDs), even affect the output of production and productivity.
1. The desk of the pattern for imitating the model
The desk of the pattern for imitating the model on the mori before the start of the canting process.
Made of wood-framed glass with static buffer so that it is not suitable to the height of other users
Causes aches and pains in the back, shoulders, and legs
2. Chair of a batik maker,
Chairs used by batik maker during the process of canting and colouring mori.
From round plastic with a short 4-foot pedestal with no backrest and seat pads.
It causes aches and discomfort in some parts of the body, i.e., shoulders, back, waist, thighs, buttocks, knees, and feet.
3. Stove, Wok and Candle Filter
Ordinary stove modified with LPG tube
Wok with a candle filter from a can of bread
The height of the stove is less suited to the sitting position of the user with a model that is somewhat difficult to clean, so it is easy to dirty.
Candles that have melted in a skillet are sometimes mixed with dirt material so that it clogs the canting holes and slows down the production process.
b. Areas of Management, including: Causes the difficulty of increasing: 1). Effective, efficient and competitive management 2). Knowledge and insight of batik maker, 3). Sales turnover, and 4). The competitiveness of artisans.
1. Daily production administration management is still simple, so it has not been detailed and can only be understood by craftsmen (business owners)
Generate problem with:
a. The total stock of each motive b. the amount of deposit of labour/day c. Business process planning 2. There is no catalogue of products typical of
Kampung Batik Jetis, as a media to display products that have been produced, can be a book, magazine or table calendar.
Has impact on:
a. Information for consumers
b. Craftsman associated with the product that has been produced
c. Promotional means introduce products 3. Sales of products are still traditional, so it has not
fully utilised the progress of information technology as a means of promotion.
Cause limited:
a. Regional marketing b. Sales turnover
c. The competitiveness of a product 4. Not optimal supervision of the production, so that
labourers outside the workshop mostly do the process of batik quality.
Difficult coordination between artisans and batik maker so it can disrupt the production process, inhibits the increase in productivity and
No Problems encountered Impact competitiveness.
Method of Implementation
The method of execution of activities describes the steps or phase in implementing the solutions offered to overcome the problems faced by both partners. Therefore, in this Community Partnership Program activity, the team will:
1. The innovation of some equipment used in the batik process by applying ergonomic concept as a solution in the production field.
2. Training and assistance as a solution in the field of management, which will be implemented with different materials according to the purpose set, include a). The importance of comfort and health in work (the concept of ergonomics), b). Creating daily production reports, c). Manufacture of product design and catalogue, d). E-commerce/online marketing, and e). Optimization of production supervision function, business management, and production efficiency.
Results and Discussion
Refers to the priority of agreed issues, then set the solution and target outcomes to be achieved from all activities proposed, with the hope of affecting 1). Increased productivity after innovation applied some batik equipment 2). To realise effective, efficient and competitive business management, 3). Increasing the knowledge and insight of batik maker, 4). Increased sales turnover, and 5). Increasing competitiveness. All of which aims to realise the welfare of the surrounding community and the independence of partners.
Based on the objectives set out in the Community Partnership Program, up to the writing of this journal there are several results to be achieved. Community Partnership Program activities implemented in line with the solutions offered to help solve problems faced by Partners, as shown in table 2 below:

Less comfortable batik seats that are without a backrest and no pads, made of plastic with 4 feet and the construction is somewhat fragile
Designing a comfortable wooden sitting chair with a backrest and padded seat that has been adjusted to the body posture
Ergonomic chair of a batik maker with backrest and seat cushion
Too low the position of a one eye LPG stove with 3 kg tube and small skillet without a filter to melt the candle
Redesign:
Oil-fueled stoves modified with LPG
Candle filters from used bread cans with the small perforated screen at the bottom so that the melted wax is not mixed with dirt that will clog the canting
Modified LPG stove and candle filter
Still simple daily administration management, not yet detailed and can only be understood by business owners (artisans)
Implementation of daily reports based on production activities
Daily reports based on production activities
The absence of catalogue products typical of Kampung Jetis
The making of a catalogue typical of Kampung Jetis that can distinguish it from other similar products
Products Catalog Kampung Batik Jetis
Sales are still conventional and not the maximum use of information technology as a means of promotion
E-commerce marketing to facilitate transactions, increase sales and provide excellent service to consumers
An e-commerce site
Not optimal the production supervision function, because the process of batik writing is mostly done outside the workshop by the power of wholesale, so it is challenging to coordinate related to the motives ordered by
Training and accompaniment optimisation of production supervision, business management, and production efficiency
Ability to implement optimal production supervision, business management &
production efficiency well
